This release is still a beta version, which means that there are some bugs, but we're moving quickly to fix them and will be releasing bug fixes on a regular basis. Not a livna version, neither the current libxine. Both RPMS are from Fedora. The thing is that I think flv is a container (I might be wrong) but the codecs within may be (or not) supported. With Miró, though, most problems I had were of reaching a youtube server whose DB replica doesn't yet have the video I searched :) Rui -- You are what you see.

So you want to view YouTube videos but you don't want to install proprietary software? Namely that pesky Adobe Flash plugin, so well known for being a multi-operating-system virus-platform?
